fair enough. you're right, not everyone has to like it, but many people did. many of those people always played the games that way and rather appreciated it when that decision was made in the development. i personally disliked the "openness" of say, XII, being forced on me so i do see where you're coming from. i don't think it's necessarily a terrible game but definitely one of my least favorite FFs. Versus should have more of something for everyone though, if you still have the faith left to try it.
